FlashBlock

FlashBlock is a Flash and Silverlight1) control tool for Firefox. It blocks Flash and Silverlight content and replaces it with a play button. The content will only be loaded after you click on this play button (this is also a privacy feature, even if it is defeatable). You can define white-lists to allow Flash on certain websites and/or (sub)domains.

Please note:

  • JavaScript has to be enabled to make FlashBlock work.
  • You don't need this Add-on if you got an installed NoScript because it is able to provide the same functionality.
